Hi:

I've got about 190k Kms on my 89 Cherokee,  I had the original front axel
U-Joints replaced at about 160k Kms and now, at least one of them is gone
again.  I'm looking for advice on a better quality replacement than the last
set - sorry I don't know the make of the last set.  All I know is that they
were not as good as the originals.  I don't do a lot of off roading so my
need is a longer life - as opposed to great strength - maybe you can't get
one without the other?

What's the consensus on greasable vs. sealed U-Joints?  I would have thought
that greasable is the way to go, but my originals were sealed and lasted a
lot longer than the greasable replacements even though I greased them
regularly.

I also have a broken coil spring and would like to replace both fronts with
ones that are similar to stock in terms of ride and height.  Any
suggestions?

While replacing the coil springs, I might as well replace the front shocks.
Any suggestions on a good set of replacements - keeping in mind that my 4
wheeling is pretty much limited to snowy roads in ski season and the odd
logging road in summer - nothing too challenging?  I liked the original ride
and would considered replacing with the original shocks, but I'm willing to
go for improved durability if that's available.  I don't want the ride to be
any harsher.

While I've got this much of the front end apart, should I consider replacing
anything else while I'm 'in there'?

Thanks for any advice.
